Five Hidden Benefits of Invoice Factoring

Invoice factoring gives you cash flow quickly, conveniently and is an exceptional alternative to traditional financing.

But did you know that factoring has additional benefits? When you partner with a factoring company to factor your invoices, it not only enables you to pay vendors and creditors quickly, but it also opens up a host of other advantages for your business. Here are five benefits that can boost your business in big ways:

Because it’s not a loan, factoring can help you access the funds you need fast, with minimum credit requirements. As a result, you can get working capital without impairing your credit, without incurring debt, or adversely impacting your credit rating.

In contrast, if you obtain a small business loan from a bank or other loan-based funding source, the debt will impact your credit score which can make it harder to get approved for a loan.

2 – Factoring can potentially improve your credit

Because of the increased cash flow you have generated through factoring, you can potentially improve your credit and credit ranking.

By factoring your receivables, and having money available immediately, you are in a better position to pay on a timely basis other companies who have extended you credit. This practice helps you maintain good standing with your other creditors.

The solution to raising your personal and business credit score primarily comes down to paying your bills either on time or early and not tapping out your available credit. If you do these two things consistently, your ability to qualify for credit will expand. Doing these two things consistently depends on having dependable cash flow, which is the main benefit of accounts receivable factoring.

That consistent cash flow, provided by factoring, helps you pay your bills on time or early and use less of your available credit, which in turn improves your credit and raises your credit score.

3 – Factoring improves your credibility

When you partner with an invoice factoring company like Interstate Capital, paying bills on time doesn’t just improve your credit — it also improves your credibility. Paying bills on time keeps you in good standing with the companies you rely on for goods and services that your business needs. If you fail to pay your bills on time, vendors and contractors may stop extending you credit or stop doing business with you completely.

4 – Loss Mitigation
